It's like the time Klopp joined the Nazi party. I remember like it was yesterday. Such a shame.
It was said numerous times on here that Liverpool would fail to attract Klopp in the first place. We managed that and who knows what else we could do with him in charge. Players will want to play for him and he will be able to get better players on that we could have attracted with Rodgers in charge.
The sudden influx of Liverpool fans on this site is sickening.
If Mourinho at Chelsea isn't invincible than Klopp at Liverpool won't be invincible. He should make you a very good team that's true but if everyone exploit their ressources at their maximum than Liverpool won't be a big threat.
Yep, and it's also sad to see the state that Michael J Fox is in these days.
Not just a 1980s reference but something that involves time travel and going back there.
Marty McFly lived the scouse dream.
It gets better - You may have played havock with the sanctity of space and time to have your indecent moment in the sun for a few decades, but look in the calendar and see what's coming up:
21st october 2015
That's right, the day Marty McFly arrives in the future and sets about fixing the timeline and setting things right. We may be deep into a dystopian future right now, but that's about to change. Your time is up, Biff.
Klopp is going to get Liverpool relegated. They're going to play hoofball and hire 'arry as their Director of Football. The team will consist of 10 strikers and Coutinho trying to escape from his prison cell hidden deep in the middle of that Beatles' Museum they keep talking about. I've not been by I'm assuming it is lovely and that.
Klopp will get bored after his first full season with them, in which he'll get them relegated from The Championship as well. Hoofball will continue and in his place Rafa Benitez will return because the owners, who have now bankrupted the club, will want to bring in someone to re-energise the club. But because of no money, Rafa will become really depressed and eat Mighty Red. Then Liverpool will fall into the sea.

I mean, this is the logical thing to do, obviously?
Anyways, I don't believe anyone who says they liked him before will do a 180 and start hating him now(or they are weirdos), but they won't wish him success, which is understandable.
Yeah Kloppo sure does look like Heidi!! But I sure did like that Heidi!
@montpelier
I see, my bad!
I see, my bad!
Man, I just watched Klopps first interview after becoming their manager and I still like him. To the point where I'm not really sure I hate Liverpool anymore. It was so much more fun to want them to do badly when they had an arrogant arse in charge. I hope he goes on to Madrid or somewhere next season.
There has to be something wrong with him. Maybe he snores? Maybe he kills cats? I can't prove either of those but I think it's only fair to assume that he does both of them while he cackles loudly in his cobwebbed mansion atop a jagged mountain surrounded by lightning. Especially while he snores. The bastard.
Say what you want but I'm devastated. Wanted him here.Can't wait to see him on the pitch in Liverpool tracksuit... so i can start hating him as much as i can 
1st Interview - answers a few questions and opens up a few more !
"I feel great. Today was a crazy day. It is absolutely a great feeling for me and it's the biggest honour that I can imagine to be here at one of the biggest clubs in the world. It is one of the best moments of my life. It feels like a dream".
"All I heard and read and felt when I saw matches with Liverpool. I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool is very, very good for me. I always thought about England and working here because of the style of football and Liverpool was first choice."
"I was never a guy for an easy way. This is the most interesting job in world football. When I read the papers they said it was a disaster - 12 points. But we are six points away [from the top]. We need to think about what we can change. First I need to talk to the players to find a common way."
Klopp: “I believe in a philosophy that is very emotional, very fast and very strong. My teams must play at full throttle.
Klopp: “I am very excited by the challenge we face and eager to start the job.”
Klopp: "It's a good moment to come here and I feel very proud. It's how the people here live football. It's a special club."
What attracted Klopp to #LFC? "Everything. The intensity of football in Liverpool was what was good for me."
Klopp: "English not good enough to express what I feel about Anfield. "I am pretty excited. I want to see it, feel it, smell it. When I came here with Dortmund a year ago I was excited because of the history. This is the most special place. The most historical place.
Klopp "Want to make fans' life better. We don't save lives, our job to make fans forget problems for 90 mins"
"This is the most interesting job in world football"
"At the moment, the LFC family is a bit too nervous and pessimistic. It is a great atmosphere in the stadium but they don't believe right now. History is great but only to remember. We need to be as successful as we can be. "The message to the Liverpool supporters: we have to change from doubters to believers, now."
"I am not here to say that against Tottenham we will see the all new LFC. But I hope there will be a little bit of the new LFC. That would be cool. These things take time."
On what style of football he will bring: "A wild one. In these days in football, all the world-class teams play possession football. I like to watch this. But nobody starts as a ball possession team. The first thing is always to have a stable defence. You can only stay confident when you know each offensive move from the opposition is a goal. Let's try to be the hardest team in the world to beat."
On the transfer policy and set-up at the club: "It is no problem. We have spoken about it and it is nothing. If smart and intelligent guys sit together and they want the same, where is the problem? I don't want to spend money we don't have. Nobody wants to transfer a player without a yes from me."

For me, Klopp sounds like the best thing happening to Liverpool in over 20 years. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong!
It's like when you have a crush on a girl, and she obviously likes you. You've set up for a date in 2017, and then, out of the red, she dies. Hate when that happens.

Delightful to see a manager who deeply cares about entertaining the fans first and foremost.
I give you 10 pens in 13/14 but the rest is not really applicable to Dortmund though correct if you generalize it. If you look at various guys from the analytical community using different attributes for qualifying chances, including real pros like Matthew Benham who've made a fortune with it, the quality of our chances last season was still high, 2nd or 3rd highest in the Bundesliga even after that horrible, horrible first half of the season. It was a massive lack of coolness up front and an abundance of almost comical mistakes in the back. As expected, this underperformance was followed by uber-performance in the first Bundesliga matches this season where the conversion rate upfront was unsustainable high. Regression to the mean, happening all the time.
Can't wait to see him on the pitch in Liverpool tracksuit... so i can start hating him as much as i can
Ugh
I still like him, I'm sure that will wear off soon enough though.
Agreed. Fergie had phenomenal achievements already before managing United.
So I'm not gonna pretend this is anything other than a massive pain in the balls.
Feck Liverpool, though. Hopefully, the "soccer ball" douche-bags in charge will still mess things up with their army of nerds meddling with all things football.

His English sounds quite good, doesn't it? Seems like he really worked on it over the last few months.
Their time has passed. Didn't you get the memo?
Typical scousers. Always with the nostalgia...
More from the interview :
Jurgen Klopp was told Jose Mourinho had called himself the special one when he was hired at Chelsea first time around.
"I don't want to describe myself," Klopp said. "I am a totally normal guy. I am the normal one maybe? I had a great opportunity to take Dortmund for seven years. And now I am here. I want to enjoy my work. People have told me a lot about the English press. It is up to you to show me they are all liars."
-----
On the transfer committee.
"Not a problem for ten seconds. I have the first word, I have the last word, the words in between other people can have some words.
Not a genius need information to get the decisions right which other people can help."

I remember Rodgers being similarly positive about the committee. And that was a number of years into his job. Would be incredibly stupid to start moaning about them before he's even taken the reins.
Klopp has proven in the past he can shit him self at a big club with big players .. no worries !
Wonderful person and a good coach. I just can't think of anything else than to wish him well. He deserves it.
Is anyone else looking forward to seeing a wee rivalry potentionally brewing between LVG and Klopp? I miss the Fergie versus Benitez days...
In 4 years, if he is still here, he will win the title for Scousers says Klopp
are you drunk?
A title within 4 years, eh? Dream on.
Winning a title in the next four years
All that drooling over him from the media and Twitter is nauseating and cringey. I like the guy, to be honest, and it's a good press conference but looking at the reactions I feel like it didn't really matter what he was going to say. They are building a cult around him before he's even managed a game. I'm talking about the english media in general. They love to do that.
Hating him is going to be pretty easy because he's the bound to say the usual generic stuff "best club in the world, best fans in the world bla bla bla ..."
Is it so unbelievable that they could win the title within 4 years? They were a whisker away from doing it within the last 4 years with Rodgers.
Klopp's a world class manager who'll undeniably be able to attract a higher calibre of player. I'll be stunned if Liverpool are still signing the likes of Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana come the summer.
